Riches and How 4 bmsed.


No blessing that heaven teStowS upon
man Is SO abused as riches, anu 1t is an
oft recurring source oi wonder that some
persons are SO generously endowed with
means far beyouud their wants or deserts.
Parents greatly err IN their advice to
their children to acquire fortune, with
out first :mpressing them with the great
Importance of the right use of money to
promote the general good of the society
in which all their Influence is exerted,
Many persons devote all the best years
of their lives in amaSsing 4 fortune which
they hope to enjoy all to themselves when
the decay of their faculties admonishes
them that their lease upon life is drawing
to a close. Il is wise TO have enough laid
up to keep Us above want and depen ence
when this trying season is upon us, but to
abandon every comfort and enjoyment in
early life, when tie affections are purest
and most fervid, the hopes freshest and
most buoyant, and the aspirations highest
and most uusolfish, for the acquisition of
money to enjoy at a period we may never
attain, is as absurd as it is uuwise and
ungenerous.
We should never sacrifice higher good
and happiness to the uncertain possession

LITTLE CHILDREN.

When my heart is like the ocean,
Moved by SUrrnWtul emotion,
Dark with clouds and wild with storm:
" hen it signs as sigh the waves
ON a barren shore that swarm
Like a host of haplesS slaves,
Seeking rest and comfort warm;
Then, if children gather round me,
Quickly breaks the spell that bound M,
For Il heavenly calm hath found me:
NunheamS fall upon my sea;
Tumult tn repose gives place:
joys r. tl-cted in NY face
Aud each artleSS child of grace
Seerus an ar..@l unto me.

Human taircot of them all
w heIr - the brightness charms the sense
like i" youthful innorer Ccr
Oh, there Is not pure desire
Like the rapture they inspire,
Dancing, prancing singing springng,
All the air with laughing ringmE:
Hoping, blmshing, wondering, hushin@,
Every Ihonght spontaneous gushing
From their cherry lips, as chainiess
As a wild hir:i's warble free
In his native greenwood tree,
ll"arlS As painless, souls aS stainless,
As the angels wish to see.
Little children, come to me;

The State Comptroller of New York
has issued notices to the treasurers of
the various racing and driving associa-
tions i'll that State, notifying them that
they are required to make report to his
department of their gross receipts upon
each race day during the year. Upon
these gross receipts the associations will
have to pay tax of five per cent, in &C.
cordance with the provisions of the Ives
Pool bill, which recently became a law.
The revenue so collected will form a
fund, which will be annually distributed
in prizes for improvement in the breeds
of cattle, sheep and horses at the various
county fairs throughout the State.

What a truly beautiful world we live in :!
Nature gives us grandeur of mountains,
glenS and oceans, and thousands of means
of enjoyment. We can desire no better
when i'll perfect health; but how often do
the majority of people feel like giving it up
tisheartened, discouraged and worn out
with disease, when there is no occasion for
this feeling as every sufferer can easily OBJ
tain satisfactory proof, that Green's 1UguI
FI0trer will make them free from disease,
as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant are the direct causes of seventy five
per cent. of such maladies as Billiousness,
indigestion, Sick Headache, CosltivenesS,
Nervous pruStratOn, Dizziness of the Head,
Palpitation of the Heart and all other dis
tressing symptoms. Three doses of dUgUSt

THE UPRIGHT MAN.

The man of life is upright,
Whose guiltless heart is free
From all dishonest deeds,
Or thought of vanity;
The man whose silent days
In harmless joys are spent,
Whom hopes cannot delude
Nor sorrow discomfort;
That man needs neither towers
Nor armour tor defence.
Nor secret faults to fly
From thunder's violence;
He only can behold
With unatlrighted eyes,
The horrors of the deep
Aud terrors of the skies.
Thus Scorning all the cares
That fate or fortune brings,
He makes the heaven his book,
His wisdom heavenly things;
Good thoughts his only friends,
lis wealth well-spent age.
The earth his sober Inn
And quiet pilgrimage.

WHAT SAY QUIZ MERcHANTsp

Tn conversation with a number OF
farmers we learn that they can buy goods
cheaper in Ellis than at either Lays or
Wa-Keeney.- Ellis Re0uev.
This sounds somewhat gauzy. AS far
MS Wa-Keeney merchants are concerned,
they can not afford to sit still under this
charge. The trade in the eastern part OF
Trego county is worth advertising for.
We mean to say it is worth offering
goods at low prices. As the county seat,
Wa-Keeney can secure the bulk OF this
desirable trade if her merchants unite In
such determination. 1t is mile and a
half east of Ogallah before people are as
close to Ellis as to Wa-Keeney. 1t Is
several miles further east before people
will turn away from their county seat to
90 to another county to buy their goods
if the merchants at the county capital
advertise bargains. Two facts lead us to
this conclusion. First: Home pride Is
a factor in the movements OF all good
citizens. Second: There is hardly ever
a time when trip to purchase goods can
not be used advantageously in making
some errand on public business to the
county seat. In fact, we wish to suggest,
in this connection, that few people visit
the county offices as often as they should.
The eounty's business is every tax payers
business. In many eases, farmers would
save money by keeping posted carefully
on the work in the offices of 1.-THE county
clerk and the county treasurer.
If any of our merchants have DISPOSE
ton to boom their business and the town
at the same time by competing for the
trade of the wealthiest rural portion OF
Trego county, we can furnish them the
reaching medium on easy terms.

We are not of the number who have
any fears that the recent bond election
in this county will be contested. We
treated the people in the county decently,
and are not ashamed to look them in the
face, and ask them to accept the result.
We volunteer this statement now, ap-
preciating fully that only the cowardly
instincts of small gang in Wa-Keeney
prevent them from placing on this Office
the boycott which they have projected
against US for not having torn our hair
for the bonds. The plot of these boy
cotters has been given to us, the ring
leaders exposed, and to suit us, they can't
begin operations one moment too soon.
